Is it that you being a “Trini” excludes you from doing your part or is it only your Venezuelan enemies are to blame for community spread? Do you have any positive suggestions/solutions on this aspect or does your tunnel vision only see from one end?
Btw where is your proof of Illegal vessels entering T&T? How many boats come in daily? Do you have photos or video footage? What do you have to show for your assumptions? Where are you getting this info? Have you reported this?
Trinis are busy pointing fingers and blaming the Venezuelans when they themselves are the ROOT cause of community spread.

I don't usually answer jackass questions, but since you braying loudly enough...
Locals breaching quarantine is an issue, yes. Explaining my possible solution to the aspect of failed quarantine for locals will take longer for me to type than I willing to spend.
However your precious illegal vene trespassers aren't as innocent in this regard as you'd beg some to believe. Didn't 3 of them quite recently make the news when they willfully escaped quarantine at a state facility? How many Trinis did similarly so far? I hear some break down a door & some unruly behavior for "fresh air" but I heard nothing of them leaving the facilities before they were discharged & free to do so.
Now, since our airports & borders have been locked down from & the entry of non nationals for months now & currently remain so, & considering that up to the month of July we had our cases under control less than 300 (coincidentally, shortly before that time cases in venezuela skyrocketed from a few hundred to over 17,000 iirc) and GoRTT has admitted to many undocumented venezuelan nationals being tested & proven + for the virus, how do you think they came here? I go make it easy for you, you can answer as a multiple choice by selecting any one of the following
A-They running on water like Dashiel in The Incredibles.
B-They have a giant slingshot in venezuela & they launch themselves airborne the 4 miles across the water with it.
C- Most of them are half breed Atlantians so they preferably swim to reach here.
D-They arrive by sea on a boat & disembark at an unsecured section of the border.
Unless you fix problem A (specifically illegal migrants) , you will forever have to deal with problem B (sick trinis), unless you plan on keeping every single T&T national in home quarantine for the next 3 years

unless of course we get even stingier with testing

Assuming we get it and start mass innoculations in Jan/Feb, we can have Carnival in April.
Reverlers/Feters/Workers participating will all have to be vaccinated and show proof of it via a wristband or something otherwise they cannot partake.
Forigners arriving for the event (if not vaccinated) will have to present a negative covid test (taken within the last 48 hours) and should have to report for testing every 14 days when in Trinidad.
It would be an awesome PR story if Trini was technically one of the last carnivals prior to worldwide lockdowns and then be the one of the first to host carnival in a post covid world.
Remember, this isn't just fun and games, we NEED carnival to stimulate the economy as XMAS will be an economic dud this year.

Glad to know I ain't the only one wondering about this.
I say let the guinea pigs go first, see if you can ride it out and avoid infection for about 6 months to a year. That should be enough time for the major side effects and long after effects to at least start to kick in and be known.

unless we go back down to 0 cases or only a few cases that u can trace through contacts, not those pending investigation it will be catastrophic to have a festival like Carnival with thousands of ppl in either the fetes or the Monday & Tuesday parade. they will have to ban both of those, and just allow spectator less Calypso & Pan competitions or something.

From August 14th to now we've had 21 deaths which averages 7 per week.
But deaths lag cases and our number of cases isn't going down so expect roughly 10 per week from now on.

Well you can't have cases if the government don't test. Before reopening government was supposed to test as much front line workers and random volunteers as possible. Instead, we said everything was safe and made everyone put their guard down.
That, plus lockdown fatigue from an unnecessarily hard lockdown, and elections, is why we're hear today. You can blame Venezuelans of course too but it's likely covid was here all along.

From what I hearing there is little to no enforcement for positive cases that were told to home quarantine so looks like MOH strategy is herd immunity or a vaccine at this point.
